Not sure if it's "old news", but a friend just drew my attention to this:

Personally spent hours looking at his posts on usenet and learning a lot.

Thank you for beeing so discreet, dear wing man...
Now, go swing that spanner as it was Thor's hammer!



Jobst Brandt, indeed a character on so many different levels.
Few and far between, but not as far as one might think...

Re:

"Riding with Jobst in the Alps tested friendships. He became obsessive about riding all day, every day, and I don’t mean until 5 p.m. He liked to ride until 8 p.m. after starting around 8 a.m., when he could coax the hotel owner to get up that early."
